For simplicity Social Mapper uses django.utils encoding:

encoding.smart_str(bestprofilelink, encoding='ascii', errors='ignore')

Which ignores non ascii characters.

If someone wants to rewrite this part of Social Mapper to handle unicode characters properly, it would be greatly appreciated and I will definitely give you credit!
